I've a PDF file, when i went to a printing shop to take the print out of the file it opened up showing all the fonts as it is (the vendor opened it in acrobet 8). however when print command was given a msg. was shown some of the fonts ... may not print correctly.... the vendor ignored the msg. and continued with printing...

In the final out put many fonts were replaced by courier new...

can some one tell me why this happend and solution for this, i would be very grateful...

Thanks

could be problem at vendors end, as if it really been a font problem (highly unlikelly as the idea for PDF is to build a doc which should not have this font problem) then it wouldnt have opened in 1st place...
